Cheese and your body

If you search the internet, you'll find a lot of research pointing to why dairy products are unhealthy for human consumption. Whether you believe them or not, I ask you two questions...

1) If it was so great for you, why is there a national campaign (got milk) trying to convince you to eat more and more of it, begging you to think that it's incredibly healthy for you? You don't see commercials for broccoli out there. Why? People know broccoli is heathly, you either eat it or you don't, and there's not a huge investment made in its production. There is a huge dairy industry the US is trying to sell (just like corn and how corn syrup has infiltrated our food market to the demise of our nation's health). Question your food choices, and do your own research. (and from my research, I have found that plant-based foods are much better for your body than anything that comes from a cow!)

2) Human breastmilk is what we need in our most important stage of development - the first year of our life. Why would you consume something heavier than that, with more protein, after this period of development? How does that make sense? Cow's milk is meant to make a baby cow gain hundreds of pounds quickly. Why are you drinking the milk of an animal that grows to 600-2500 lbs?

And, an article about sinus problems and dairy.
